Hillbilly Heroin

Everyone's been laughing so much at Winona Ryder's shoplifting bust that they've failed to notice that she was also found in possession of Oxycodone.

Oxycodone is a bit like codeine, but six times stronger. It can be snorted, injected or eaten and induces opiate-like effects and "striking euphoria" (such as "Weeeee, I'm so happy that I could shoplift...")

The drug's popularity in places like Appalachia has led to its nickname "hillbilly heroin".

Unfortunately, it does tend to kill the hillbillies: in Virgina the perscription drug death rate has increased 90% since the Oxycodone's introduction.

Still, good to see that Winona is following the Don Simpson prescription drugs route. Gak and smack are so very dull, aren't they-
